// Étude by John Armleder is a detailed ink drawing from 1966 that immerses viewers in a labyrinthine structure filled with intricate architectural elements. The artwork features a complex arrangement of Gothic-inspired windows, arches, and ornate details, giving it a surreal, cathedral-like atmosphere. Lines converge and diverge, guiding the eye through a fragmented and dynamic space that appears both familiar and otherworldly. The piece reflects Armleder's early exploration of form and structure, emphasizing the meticulous line work that suggests both architectural precision and a dream-like disintegration. This study in black ink combines meticulous detail with abstract spatial layering, inviting contemplation of structure, decay, and transformation.

What is minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
